Swim-bike-run

After a lot of training, determination, and some fun, a group of young athletes including (pictured) Jacob Everaard, 7, a student at River Oaks Baptist School, completed a triathlon race. The Otter Tri Team recently participated in the Captain Kids Triathlon at Moody Gardens in Galveston where young athletes from the ages of 6-15 swam in the lazy river, biked through the resort, and finished with a run through the tropical gardens. The Otters practice in the Houston and Bellaire area year-round to train for the yearly event. Other participants included Caylee Canonico, 9, Sophie Everaard, 9, and Kinley Canonico, 7.
